Grey Towers National Historic Site
Grey Towers National Historic Site, Norman mansion in Dingman Township, US
The Grey Towers mansion features three-story fieldstone walls, conical towers at its corners, and large windows overlooking the Delaware River valley.
James Wallace Pinchot commissioned architect Richard Morris Hunt to design this French-style chateau in 1875, completing construction in 1886 for $43,000.
The estate contains the Finger Bowl, an outdoor dining area with a raised pool surrounded by seating, designed by William Lawrence Bottomley in 1930.
The Forest Service provides guided tours of the mansion interior from May through December, while the grounds remain accessible year-round for self-guided visits.
The mansion utilized local materials during construction, including hemlock timbers transported via the Delaware River and bluestone from neighboring quarries.
